Lisa, can you give some info. of you laptop such as how much RAM, Processor
etc. Your system resources may be limited and with this info. we may be able to better assist you. Make it a great day. -- Computer/Software Tech. Charles Richmond http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ "Lisa" wrote: I was burning a DVD and while in the process my laptop froze. The DVD completed and ejected but I could not get further response. Ctrl, Alt, Del brought up the task manager option but it would not access task manager or any other option. I have powered it down several times but each time I power it back up everything appears frozen just as it was when I powered it down. My yahoo music page is still frozen along with yahoo messenger and my mouse pad icon, which I was trying to adjust at the time, still appears. I cannot key anything in, bring up task manager or get any kind of response. Why wouldn't powering down get rid of everything and ask me to start Windows normally?

A good idea would be to remove ac power AND the battery. This would force the laptop to start from cold.. -- Mike Hall - MVP Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

I tried removing the battery and unplugging the laptop and I still get the
same frozen screens. I cannot even get to the Start menu or I would attempt a restore. The mouse pointer if frozen and I can right click and bring up the options but that's all.

If you have no backups of important stuff, find somebody who will hook your drive up to their computer and save what you can.. -- Mike Hall - MVP Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/
